Brockway & Nelson GUM-DIPPED TIRES W ear Longer E recently were given the tremendous advantage of having the mammoth Firestone factories brought to us. In Tire Educational Meetings we were shown, by means of motion pictures, charts, tire samples and complete engineer ing data, the details of Firestone tire Resign and construction—and how Fire stone and Oldfield tires and tubes are made in the world’s most efficient and economical rubber factories. Firestone pioneered the original low-pressure tire and made it practical by Gum-Dipping. The motion pictures showed us how the cords of the carcass are dipped in a rubber solution, thoroughly saturating and insulating every fiber of every cord with rubber. Simple demonstrations and tests illustrated the great advantage of this process, which supplies the extra strength to withstand the extra flexing strains of low-pressure construction—one of the reasons why Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires are establishing such unheard-of mileage records.
